Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
iphamed condition of the mucus lin :.
ing of the Eustachain Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed, you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
Elimination can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrah, which is nothing but an
infamed condition of the mucus sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case Of Deafness Caused
by Catarrah) that we can not cure by
taking Halls Catarrah Cure. Send
for circular, free.

Strange visions rise before the
eyes, aad mystify the intelli-
gence Of the Cleveland post
masters--as an instance we note that
the Hastings Journal prints the fol-
lowing as editorial: "rhe Republicans
are already concedi"g the almost
certain election of Cleveland, and
have placed Michigan III the doubtful
column" Barnum wants those Re-
publ;cans. One of them would be
more attractive, and draw better than
the White Elephant did.

The Supreme Court has settled for
all time the question OF the constitu
tionality of the several state laws pro-
hibit,ng the manufacture and sale of
liquor without paying either damages
or compensation to the liqnor man
ufacturers or dealers. This is as it
;sh ould be. All liquor for sale and
all machinery for its manufacture, in
violation cf law, sh ould be treated as
burglars tools, counterfeiters' imple-
meuts and gamblers outfits.

Il have just returned from Wichita,

Mr.. Erdman was one OF the uhluchy

surrounded by prairie, and much prairie,

a hundred miles 10 every direction

A Very Valuable Work.

MARVELLOUS WONDERS OF THE WHOLE
WORLD, CONTAINING A GRAPHIC AC-

ADVENTURES, VOYAGES AND DISCOy-

AND INCLUDING A FULL DESCRIPTION
OF THE WONDERS OF THE OCEAN,

Wonders abound in every land on
the face of the earth, and in every de-
partment of nature, science, and art.
These are here gathered into one COM
prehensive volume, and are presented
to the reader in glowing descriptions
accompanied by the finest work of the
artist and engraver. Whoever has an
eye for the Marvellous will find it here
in the travels and adventures of the
worlds great explorers, and in the dis
coverieS and revelations which have
been brought to light in every realm
of nature.
The Dark Continent, its forests, its
dangerous passes, its superb Tropical
scenery, the strange costumes of the
natives, their petty wars, their human
sacrifices, their social customs and rule,
forms of government, the grotesque re-
ceptions of savage Kings and Queens.
the animals which abound, all of which
have been described by such famous
| travellers as Livington, Stanley, Du
Chaillu and Others, have place in the
book, and are set forth in a manner
which leaves nothing to be desired.
The reader is conducted from one
country to another and is made acqauin-

the empires of China Japan, the Land
of the Pyramids, the beautiful Isles Of
Pacific, North and South America, the
Polar World, all of which, by reason of
the adventures and discoveries of which

or princely temples and gardens of the
gods, present something of thrilling
interest at every step.
The book does not stop here, but
seeks new worlds to conquer The
marvellous ocean with its amazing
secrets, the atmosphere with cyclones
and snowy crystals, the mines and
cayerns under the earth, the brilliant
phenomena of the heavens, the amaz-
ing productions of the animal and
vegetable kingdoms, the magnificent
achievements of engineering and me-

a manner at once brilliant and captiv-
